Kate Middleton and Prince William visited Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at their Frogmore Cottage home on Tuesday (May 14). The visit, of course, was quite the special occasion: the Cambridges got to meet their nephew Archie Mountbatten-Windsor for the first time ever. According to a few sources close to the two royal couples, baby Archie's arrival has helped heal the long-rumored rift between them .
Though Meghan and Kate were initially rumored to be the ones at odds with each other - the fall out was reportedly between their husbands - they're actually grown quite close over the course of Meghan's pregnancy. "Meghan and Kate will be spending a lot more time together," a source told Us Weekly. "Now that they're bonding over motherhood, they've become closer than ever."
Another royal insider opened up about how Archie's arrival has helped heal any bad blood between the princes, as well. "William and Harry will want their children to know their cousins and do things together, so they will work harder at their relationship," the source revealed to People. "The brothers will have a different kind of relationship and move on."
Vanity Fair's royal reporter, Katie Nicholl, has also confirmed this report, saying Harry, Meghan, Kate, and William all want their kids to "grow up to be quite close." Nicholl adds that Meghan and Harry's move out of London has also helped ease tensions between the two couples. "Things have been a lot better since Harry and Meghan moved out of KP, it has given them all some space," a source said.
Archie's cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have not yet met the newest addition to the family. Fingers crossed when they all get together some adorable photos are taken to share with the world. How cute would that be?

Belief 101: Why Michael is innocent
This is why Michael Jackson thinks he is innocent, has his fans convinced he is innocent, and could possibly convince a jury he is innocent. In his mind, he is.
In the now infamous Martin Bashir documentary, Jackson baldly states there is no greater demonstration of love than sharing your bed– and that's not a euphemism for sex, since Jackson defines sex as that distasteful evil that happens between an adult man and woman. Jackson has removed himself from all three definitions, adult, man, and woman– just as he is no longer black yet does not claim to be white, despite the mystery of his very white children.
He is an androgynous child of no discernible race and no discernible sexual orientation. His playmates of choice are pre-pubescent boys, since even little girls would have too much of a sexual overtone for the fairyland where his mind resides. What he does with the boys is just an extension of euphoric play to him, since apparently there is no penetration involved. They pet and fondle like monkeys, and it is, in his mind, a pure and loving act. He feels good. He makes them feel good. It's all good. And it's all pure and innocent because they're all children together, pure and innocent.
If there is no adult man involved, there is no pederasty, and in Jackson's mind, there is no adult man involved.
His life, he says all the time, is about the children. As a rebuke to his father's once iron-fisted control, Jackson wants to rescue all the children of the world (or at least the boys, anyway) from their parents, their cancers, their poverty, their loneliness. Through each one, he saves himself over and over. And a little discreet and well-hidden fondling– blurred and softened around the edges with wine and sedatives served in soda cans– binds him to the children of his deliverance.
Married couples think of their sexual congresses as acts of love rather than debased cravings. And what Jackson does with little boys he defines as that same wholesome love.
Tell him he is doing something evil or prurient, and his mind cannot grasp the concept. To him, rape is what adult men do to women or young girls. He doesn't think he's in the same category. His little friends are coming to him voluntarily, handed over by their parents, enchanted by the enchanted land he created.
The rules that apply to other people have never applied to Michael. Since he was a performing moppet, his life has been different. He truly does not know how normal people live or how one must adapt to the rules and standards of society. On the one hand, he grew up a dancing slave, forced to perform by his father. On the other, from his earliest memories he was met with adulation by the common people. He does not have to worry about money– at least not yet. He has always been able to make his every dream come true, even changing his physical appearance as if by magic.
A staff serves him as if he were a king. When he goes outside, people become excited and eager to touch him. Imagine being that person, and imagine that being the only life you've ever known.
It's no surprise that he has no respect for authority, no need to get to court on time, no need to fear a judge. Who is a judge, anyway, and what authority could they possibly have over the King of Pop? Throw some money in trouble's direction, and it will go away. It always has.
To his way of thinking, anyone who tries to prevent him from living his life as he pleases is persecuting him unfairly. He pleads his case to us through his website. They are after me for no reason. They just want to bring me down. It's all so unfair and cruel. I am a victim.
He is paid large sums of money just to talk to television reporters, and none of them so far has had the guts to try to pin him down about the grand illusions he has spun around his existence. From Diane Sawyer to 60 Minutes, he's treated with dignity, his wild stories and fantastical reasoning accepted politely as truth– or at least as his truth. And if it's his truth, then who dares to say the man's insane? Or worst of all, a man?
A chillingly telling scene in the Bashir documentary takes place in the middle of a shopping spree in a tacky Las Vegas gift shop full of fake and overpriced Egyptian treasures, which Jackson is buying up like a bored pharaoh. Bashir and Jackson admire an ornate sarcophagus, and Bashir asks a perfectly normal and, in the context, suitable– question. Would Jackson like to be buried in such an ornate coffin?
A look of utter confusion crosses Jackson's face. Not fear. Jackson is incapable of fearing what he can't imagine dying– just as he is incapable of fearing ever being punished for a criminal act. What has Jackson befuddled is that Bashir is implying that he is not as immortal as his hero, Peter Pan. He demurs that he never thinks of such a thing, it is not going to happen. He moves on quickly to another item as the tiny shadow of reality flits through the gift shop for a brief second, like a Tinker Bell of Doom.
Maybe, with enough money and the right lawyers– it worked for O.J. after all, and all he ever did was slit a woman's throat– Michael can escape that shadow of reality again.
As Tink and Peter say, all you have to do is believe you can fly, and with all the Lost Boys, you will. And Jackson really, truly believes.

Oceans offer good opportunities for sustainable economic development. More and more, energy, fisheries and transport infrastructures are being established offshore. However, this growing demand for maritime transport, resource extraction, offshore energy, fisheries and aquaculture, is threatening marine ecosystems and sustainable maritime activities.
The rational exploitation of oceans space and resources is seen as crucial to enhance European competitiveness in key areas such as renewable energy and aquaculture. In particular, offshore platforms that can combine many functions within the same infrastructure could offer significant benefits in terms of economics, optimising spatial planning and minimising the impact on the environment.
H2OCEAN is a project aimed at developing an innovative design for an economically and environmentally sustainable multi-use open-sea platform. Wind and wave power will be harvested and part of the energy will be used for multiple applications on-site, including the conversion of energy or running a multi-trophic aquaculture farm.
The unique feature of the H2OCEAN concept, besides the integration of different activities into a shared multi-use platform, lies in the novel approach for the transmission of offshore-generated renewable electrical energy through hydrogen that can be stored and shipped to shore as green energy carrier. This concept allows effective transport and storage of the energy, decoupling energy production and consumption, thus avoiding the grid imbalance problem inherent to current offshore renewable energy systems. Additionally, this concept also circumvents the need for a cable transmission system which takes up a significant investment share for offshore energy generation infrastructures, increasing the price of energy.
The integrated concept will permit to take advantage of several synergies between the activities within the platform significantly boosting the Environmental, Social and Economic potential impact of new maritime activities, increasing employment and strengthening European competitiveness in key economic areas. H2OCEAN builds on already on-going R&D activities of a partnership involving European leading industrial and academic partners from five countries within the fields of renewable energy, hydrogen generation, fish farming, maritime transports and related research disciplines.

She assured, including, 'I rather like him in fact, he advises me of my father. He's a great fucker as well as well as made me come.
When I came back, Peter scheduled me quickly after and also informed me exactly how Gi had actually asked him to take a shower once they were in the space downstairs. I took one currently, Peter had actually stated.
' When the punter's in the space with you,' she described, 'he will certainly do anything to dip his dickie in you. She responded.
I was amazed, given that the majority of women right here attract the line at osculatory get in touch with. We commonly estimate this little item to our punters: You pay, we fuck, You pay even more we draw/ Pay also much more we piss, however sir we do not kiss.
She chuckled. She opposed that she did not do this to be horrible, however to reveal that was in cost.
I have actually understood Peter for a number of years currently. He informs me he has a healthy and balanced sex life at residence, yet he is over-endowed. As I was preparing to take my little boy to Italy for 10 days, I claimed that he can examine out Maggie.
Quickly sufficient, Peter just had eyes for Gi.
Gi quickly ended up being one of the most demanded lady in the parlour although she normally functioned one as well as a half day a week, spaced as though most of her customers appeared two times. I was stunned to listen to that she was commonly discourteous to her customers.
' You really kiss him?'
I uncovered that they had actually traded telephone number. I was considerably startled when she informed me that she commonly called him to request for recommendations.
' I do not kiss any person else.'
' Guidance? Concerning what?'
They went to Paris for an entire week after he had actually informed his other half he was going to a meeting. Gi no much longer required my firm any kind of even more currently, although we were still pals.
' Concerning anything. What footwear to acquire ... why's that vital to you?'
Undoubtedly they began satisfying in the area, for beverages, for a dish. He took her to the opera, which she declared to enjoy.
I had not been at all shocked when she informed me that Peter was intending to leave his better half so the 2 of them might obtain wed. An event with a job coworker, for instance, is a risk to family members life, however a slut simply offers alleviation to the horny male. Lots of sauna ladies preserve healthy and balanced connections with hubbies or companions, as in much the very same way, did the wedded guys that see our saunas.
' Are you certain you wish to do that?'
' Isn't it an instance of Oediphus complicated? I imply you have to have missed out on having your daddy in your life. You on your own informed me Peter advised you of him.'
' No,' I responded to much more emphatically than I indicated. We looked at each various other for some time.
' What d'you imply? I never ever claimed anything like that.' I claimed absolutely nothing.
I was really uncertain, however claimed absolutely nothing.
' Well ... I love him. I assume.'
There was a happy ending to this tale. Gi informed me that she made the best error of her life when she presented Peter to Nari.
' You're not crazy with him, are you?' she tested me.
' What regarding your chemistry level? I desire Peter's infants,' she claimed cheerfully, 'lots of them.'

This is my first time installing Arch 0.6 Linux. When I finished partitioning, installing the packages and kernel, installing the bootloader and rebooted, it says operating system not found when booting it up. It doesn't seem like it installed anything.
Which bootloader did you install (grub or lilo?). What is your drive configuration (partitions, filesystem types, etc). Have you tried installing again to see if the problem reproduces?
I tried both grub and lilo and it didn't install them. Yes I tried installing everything again but it still doesn't boot up. My partition and filesystem types are setup like the following:
Linux (Boot) ext2 / (38980MB)
Linux swap (1024MB)
Seems like a nice simple setup that should work fine... so why is it not? hmmm..
Can you boot with a rescue disk (even the Arch install CD works) and try mounting the root partition to see if there is any data on it? This will tell us if its the boot loader or the filesystem....
Are you installing the boot loader to mbr?
Now I am trying to install the packages and it's giving me an error:
error : cannot resolve dependencies for "bash": "readline" is not in the package set
Package Installation FAILED.
This is weird because I selected every package.
Now I am trying to install the packages and it's giving me an error:
error : cannot resolve dependencies for "bash": "readline" is not in the package set
Package Installation FAILED.
This is weird because I selected every package.
Okay I got it to install the packages.
When I rebooted, I got an error, "error loading operating system." It seems weird how fast it installed those packages and linux kernel under one minute.
As you say loading all the packages in under a minute sounds odd..
Give install another go ... just make sure you set mount points .... install packages & kernel check config files .... (to see if they are correct) fstab ;-) lilo/grub etc
make sure lilo/grub is set up then reboot ....
please let us know how you get on....
Use Knoppix or Arch CD to check system is installed your mount points dirs/ O & look in /boot make sure there are files in there ......vmlinuz etc...
Mr Green
Make sure that you hit "done" after the mounting and partitioning?
it could be that you missed it somewhere...
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy
I tried auto-prepare this time and it still does the samething.
What can I say other than check your Arch CD for errors ....
Install should be no problem is anything getting loaded to your partitions ?
ie /boot etc....
Mr Green
Is there anyway that I can check?
What CD or partitions ?
Mr Green
Is there anyway I can check if there anything installed on my partition?
use Arch CD / Knoppix or any Live CD to check partitions & see if there are any directories on them .....
you may need to mount them first .....
Knoppix would be easier .... if thats any help
Have you used Linux before daft question but I have to ask .... :-)
Mr Green
when you set up your partition and then mount them you have to select the "done" option otherwise installation of packages will fail and your config files will be blank.
if you did the partitioning and mount section right and still had troubles then i would say your installation disc is bad so first check the md5sum of the downloaded iso, if that checks out then reburn another cd(rw) and try again.
usually the only reasons one cannot complete an arch install is that the do not select done in the pasrtitioning section, they have not checked the md5sum, or they are installing on damaged or inappropriate hardware.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
it's also possible you borked the lilo.conf or grub/menu.lst files so it just can't boot.
error loading operating system
sounds like a bootloader error to me.... where does it stop when booting?
do you get the "Booting Arch........................................" screen?
IIRC the default bootloader configs are not 100% compatible with the autoprepare.... at least mine wasn't when i installed grub to the MBR...

Amid drama, Paul Tonna takes over as Suffolk IDA chief
It was a classic Paul Tonna moment.
A motion had been made in the Suffolk County Legislature to table the appointment of Tonna, the former legislative presiding officer, to the county Industrial Development Agency board. Tonna threatened to withdraw from consideration. "Tabling the bill would be an absolute insult," he said.
Tonna's unexpected move Tuesday surprised Legis. Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who wanted to put off a vote because several unions had raised concerns over Tonna's work as a consultant for Jerry Wolkoff, a developer of the $4 billion Heartland project. Wolkoff has balked at making the project a union job.
Anker asked Tonna to reconsider, remarking that his petulant reaction was, "something my 16-year-old son would say when he gets angry," she recalled.
Tonna said a delay would set a "very bad precedent," giving any special interest -- even unions that he supports -- the upper hand in appointments. But reacting to Anker's jibe, Tonna, 54, was more disarming: "My wife has said I've acted like a 16-year-old for the last 25 years."
The tabling motion failed, Tonna's appointment was approved and two days later the Huntington businessman was made IDA chairman within six minutes of joining the board.
"It was a bold move on Paul's part," said Legis. Wayne Horsley (D-Babylon). "But that's Paul. He put the issue on the line."
Tonna's appointment offers the IDA board -- which gives businesses low-cost financing and tax breaks -- a high-powered salesman with a wide network of business and labor contacts across Long Island.
"Politics on Long Island is a contact sport, and Paul Tonna knows how to play the game," business lobbyist Desmond Ryan said. "And it gives [County Executive] Steve Bellone the consummate political professional he needs to get things going and moving ahead."
But Tonna's appointment also comes as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is trying to rein in IDAs, and Bellone has taken fire for installing politically connected people to IDA jobs. Some also have questioned Bellone's aggressive push for a new Suffolk IDA policy to cut property taxes for businesses -- not just taxes on expansion projects -- that could hurt school budgets.
"IDAs are the poster child for crony capitalism directing scarce public resources to wealthy politically connected people at the expense of the little guy," said Paul Sabatino, a former chief deputy county executive.
Others say Bellone, a Democrat, sees a political advantage in bringing on Tonna, a Republican, because his connections could mean campaign contributions.
"Every county executive wants friends who have big bucks," said former county lawmaker Michael O'Donohoe, the Conservative Suffolk commissioner of jurors. "And Paul certainly has connections -- he's rubbed shoulders for years on the golf links with unions and big money guys."
Tonna said Bellone talked to him about the unpaid IDA post after he alerted the administration that Broadridge Financial Solutions, with 1,500 employees in Brentwood who process investor reports for businesses, was being wooed last spring by Virginia's governor to relocate.
Tonna says IDAs can serve as an engine to create well-paid jobs, give union members work and thwart those trying to lure business away. "I see myself as a person who can make connections," Tonna said. "I have a lot of contacts and want to use them."
He called Wolkoff a nonissue because the Islip IDA is handling the Heartland project and he no longer advises the developer on labor issues, only intergovernmental relations. He also said he would recuse himself on any deal where there is even a perceived conflict of interest.

Chiropractors claim their profession was founded in 1895 when Daniel David Palmer restored the hearing of a deaf janitor by "adjusting" a bump on his spine. Soon afterward, he concluded that misaligned bones ("subluxations") interfered with the body's expression of "Innate Intelligence" -- the "Soul, Spirit, or Spark of Life" that controlled the healing process.
Although philosophy and treatment vary greatly from one practitioner to another, most of today's 60,000-or-so chiropractors can be classified as "straights" or "mixers." Straights tend to cling to Palmer's doctrine that most diseases are caused by misaligned spinal bones ("subluxations") correctable by spinal adjustment. Some straights, however, maintain that they neither diagnose nor treat diseases, but confine themselves to detecting and correcting vertebral subluxations. Mixers acknowledge that factors such as germs and hormones play a role in disease, but they tend to regard mechanical disturbances of the nervous system as the underlying cause of lowered resistance to disease. Louis Sportelli, D.C., who later became chairman of the American Chiropractic Association's board of governors, expressed this concept in a pamphlet called "What Kinds of Conditions Do Chiropractors Treat?" which he distributed in the 1980s. The pamphlet stated:
The doctor of chiropractic directs his attention to the spine, searching for an area which is deviant from normal. The deviation or malpositioning of a spinal vertebra may cause a neurological imbalance within the body, setting the stage for lowered resistance, and subsequently a disease process. . . .
Chiropractic is based on the premise that every gland, organ and cell of the body needs a nerve supply to function properly. Therefore it would seem logical that malfunctions in these areas would also respond to chiropractic adjustments.
It is with this basic thought in mind that the answer to, "What can you treat, doctor?" could be as varied and vast as the nervous system itself.
In addition to spinal manipulation, mixers may prescribe nutrient concoctions, homeopathic products, and various types of physiotherapy (heat, cold, traction, exercise, massage, and ultrasound). Straights tend to disparage medical diagnosis, claiming that examination of the spine is the proper way for chiropractors to analyze their patients. Mixers are more likely to diagnose medical conditions in addition to spinal abnormalities, and to refer patients to medical practitioners for treatment. Some practitioners claim that chiropractic treatment is effective against nearly the entire range of human ailments. A small percentage of chiropractors reject Palmer's dogma and treat only musculoskeletal problems. I do not believe that spinal manipulation is effective against other problems.
Research Findings
During the past few years, two reports about the treatment of low-back pain have placed chiropractic in a favorable light. One, issued by the RAND Corporation, concluded that spinal manipulation was appropriate for some cases of low-back pain. The other, produced by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), judged manipulation useful for controlling symptoms while awaiting the spontaneous recovery that occurs within a month in most patients with low-back problems.
Although chiropractors have promoted these reports as endorsements of chiropractic, they are not. They merely support the use of manipulation in carefully selected patients. Only a few of the research studies on which their conclusions were based involved manipulation by chiropractors; most were done by medical doctors and physical therapists whose practices are not identical to those of chiropractors. Most chiropractors manipulate the vast majority of patients who walk through their door, some use techniques that have not been studied scientifically, and many urge all of their patients to undergo monthly or even weekly "preventive maintenance" visits throughout their life. In addition, many chiropractors emphasize a technique that is more vigorous (and therefore less safe) than the controlled manipulation used by other practitioners. The only places where "chiropractic" and "chiropractors" are mentioned in the body of the AHCPR report are in the passages about the make-up of the AHCPR expert panel.
X-rays and Medicare
Most chiropractors claim that x-rays help them locate the "subluxations" that D.D. Palmer envisioned. But they do not agree among themselves about what subluxations are. Some chiropractors believe they are displaced bones that can be seen on x-rays and can be put back in place by spinal adjustments. Others define subluxations vaguely or say they do not necessarily show on x-rays. But what chiropractors contend about x-rays also depends upon who asks and how the question is posed.
Chiropractic coverage under Medicare, which began in 1973, was limited to manual manipulation of the spine for the treatment of "subluxations demonstrated by x-rays to exist." To enable payment, federal officials accepted an elaborate chiropractic "definition" of subluxations for which payment could be made. During the mid-1980s, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General (OIG) surveyed 145 chiropractors by telephone about their billing practices. Eighty-four percent said that some subluxations do not show on x-rays. Nearly half responded that when billing Medicare, they "could always find something" (by x-ray or physical examination) to justify the diagnosis, or they actually tailored the diagnosis to obtain reimbursement. The OIG's report noted that chiropractic manipulation was the ninth most frequently billed procedure under Medicare during 1983.
In 1997, after many years of intense lobbying, chiropractors persuaded Congress to remove the mandatory x-ray provision. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 eliminates the requirement as of January 1, 2000, and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and implement utilization guidelines for chiropractic coverage when a subluxation has not been demonstrated by X-ray. The new policy is expected to increase the number of claims Medicare pays for chiropractic services.
Primary-Care Providers?
Managed-care plans provide unlimited access to one's primary physician, but specialized care must be authorized by that physician -- usually a family practitioner. Chiropractors are worried that if they cannot be accessed directly, their income will suffer. Moreover, in communities where managed care predominates, nonparticipating chiropractors could lose their ability to earn a living. Chiropractic leaders are attempting to deal with this threat by claiming that chiropractors are primary-care providers to whom patients should be given access without referral.
In line with this viewpoint, most chiropractors claim they can diagnose conditions within their scope and refer the rest to appropriate providers. However, clinical training in chiropractic schools is vastly inferior to that in medical schools. Whereas medical school faculties are large and contain experts in virtually every aspect of medical practice, chiropractic schools have little or no input from medical experts. Whereas medical students see patients encompassing the full range of disease, most patients seen by chiropractic students have musculoskeletal problems. Although some of their courses are based on standard medical textbooks, chiropractic students lack the clinical experience necessary to make the information meaningful. Chiropractic schooling in such subjects as pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynecology is usually limited to classroom instruction with little or no actual patient contact and no experience with hospitalized patients. One school, for example, has used only rubber models to teach students how to perform pelvic and rectal examinations! The thousand-member Federation of Straight Chiropractors and Organizations (FSCO) asserts that chiropractic practice should be limited to the analysis and correction of "subluxations." FSCO asserts that chiropractors are neither licensed nor trained to diagnose medical problems or make medical referrals. Large percentages of chiropractors do not believe that immunizations are effective and do not recommend them to their patients [1,2].
For these reasons and more, the claim that chiropractors are generally qualified to be "primary-care providers" is absurd.
Spinal Roulette?
In 1992, researchers at the Stanford Stroke Center asked 486 California members of the American Academy of Neurology how many patients they had seen during the previous two years who had suffered a stroke within 24 hours of neck manipulation by a chiropractor. The survey was sponsored by the American Heart Association. One hundred seventy-seven neurologists reported treating 55 such patients, all of whom were between the ages of 21 and 60. One patient had died, and 48 were left with permanent neurologic deficits such as slurred speech, inability to arrange words properly, and vertigo. The usual cause of the strokes was thought to be tearing of the vertebral artery walls [3]. A recent review of 116 articles published between 1925 and 1997 found 177 cases of neck injury associated with neck manipulation, at least 60% of which was done by chiropractors [4].
One patient proven to have been killed by neck manipulation was Kristi A. Bedenbaugh, a medical office administrator and former beauty queen from Little Mountain, South Carolina. In 1993, Kristi consulted a chiropractor seeking relief from the pain of sinus headaches. During her second visit, she suffered a stroke immediately after the chiropractor manipulated her neck. She died three days later, one day before her 25th birthday. The autopsy revealed that the manipulation had split the inside walls of both of her vertebral arteries, causing the walls to balloon and block the blood supply to the lower part of her brain. Additional studies concluded that blood clots had formed on the days the manipulation took place. In 1997, the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners of South Carolina issued a consent order in which the chiropractor agreed to pay a $1,000 fine and to acquire 12 hours of continuing education credits in the areas of neurological disorders and emergency response.
How common are strokes following neck manipulation? Nobody knows. No clinical research has addressed this problem, and chiropractic malpractice insurance companies have refused to make their data public [5]. Most speculations run from 1 in 400,000 to 1 in 3,000,000. But when manipulations are done without valid reason -- as they often are -- no complication is excusable.
For Additional Information
To what extent can chiropractors help people? Does it ever make sense to seek chiropractic care? If so, how can a reliable chiropractor be found? These questions -- which are not simple to answer -- are thoroughly discussed in Chiropractic: The Victim's Perspective (1995), written by George J. Magner, III, and Inside Chiropractic: A Patient's Guide (1999), by Samuel Homola, D.C. Both were edited by me and published by Prometheus Books. Together they provide the most detailed analysis of the chiropractic marketplace ever published. Comprehensive information is also available on Chirobase, our skeptical guide to chiropractic history, theories, and current practices.

Nt;mb«r 76 Council To Ask For Opinion of Discipline Plans Fraternity Group Submits Two Pledge Project* to Dr. von KleinSmid Greeks Approve Systems Rules Suggested by Smirl, Fisher To Replace Old Paddling Methods New pledge disciplining plans voted upon last week by the interfratemity council will be presented tomorrow to Dr. Rufus B von KleinSmid for his approval, rejection, or alteration. Bob Trapp, president of the council, will confer with the president on the new propositions. The pians, suggested by Bill Fisher, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Hob Smirl, Sigma Phi Epsilon, are both aimed at disciplining pledges by methods other than the paddling system which has been in effect for many years. Fisher's plan embodies the system of an active control board who will hear report* on pledges once every three weeks. The reports will be made by the pledge master whose duty It will be lo keep an accurate check on all pledges. Should a pledge bt found lacking ln any of the prescribed house rules, then he 1s punished by having more work allocated to him. denial of social privileges, and ln obstinate cases, outright expulsion Smlrl's system is of the merit variety. A pledge is given so many merits for doing certain forms of work. With a minimum amount of effort it is possible to amass 22 merits during the week. The maximum number possible to attain is 30. Under this plan, a pledge who ls deficient in hia merits is called before a board of control. This board will hear the case and decide on the penalty. The same penalties would be given tn this plan as under the Fisher proposal. Expulsion from the organization ls the ultimate in pledge penalties. It was decided last, week by the council that any pledge who becomes so unruly that his chapter finds It necessary to expell him that he will not be permitted to pledge any other house.

Wow. So I started this blog waaaaay back in January 2008.
I admit....
I've kinda failed at blogging in the last year (or two).
There have been a lot of changes in my life in the last year (which I'll probably get to eventually) and I admit that my reasons for starting this crazy blog have changed as I have evolved as a person (not a bad thing)and I guess my blog has suffered an identity crisis (and me too...).
I'm not ready to give up the "blissful oblivion of anonymous" of my very strong opinions, but I never know how to start once I've gotten an idea of something to write about.
Sometimes I think blogging is just the post modern version of James Joyce's stream of conscience and I've had trouble picking up the thread of my "inner thoughts".
Screw it.
I know "good blogs" have a continuous theme and a continuous message and voice, but I've got to pick up the thread somehow...
I think my favorite posts were just the random "this strikes my fancy so I'll slap some words on the blogisphere about it.
be ready, Constant Reader, for me to unleash some of my randomness in the upcoming days/weeks/months.
I'm ready to just put random stuff out there.
Love it...hate it...I don't care....I just hope you'll continue to stick around for a little bit longer.
Hugs, kisses....

speaking of girl crushes
I have one on Keri Hilson. I just like looking at her. She's so pretty. I can give props where props are due. Oh and her music isn't to bad either. To make me like her even more, on the "Turnin Me On" remix she spits that "fire", or maybe it's like a "flame"...she spits a flame along with T-Pain and Weezy F (haven't we heard enough of them???), but the song is good shit...just look at her, she's like the black barbie I couldn't find as a child. awwwwww, so cute lol

What is AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D used for?
AutoCAD is a software application developed by Autodesk to allow users to draft two- and three-dimensional models using a computer. To help you better understand, we think its practical uses can be broken down into five distinct categories including: architectural planning, engineering drafting, graphic design, 3D printing, and fashion and industrial designing. AutoCAD permits companies to virtually plan and design projects which increases productivity and lowers the cost of completing them. The most common job obtained by those who complete AutoCAD training is that of a CAD drafter which is needed in several industries including architecture, engineering, computer science, and construction.
What education do I need to become a CAD drafter?
To become a CAD drafter, you will need to obtain formal training in the use of AutoCAD through a course like this one. This course even leads to certification as an Autodesk Certified User. You may decide to further continue your education by obtaining an associate degree in drafting to open up even more opportunities in the future.
What is the average salary of an AutoCAD drafter?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not report specifically on AutoCAD drafters, but it does compile data on drafters in general. The median salary for drafters is just over $54,000 per year. Your salary will vary depending on the type of job you choose as well as your education and experience level.
Are trained AutoCAD drafters in demand?
Yes, trained AutoCAD drafters are in demand, and employment is expected to grow by 7 percent according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It notes that increased construction activity will drive up the demand for drafters, however as engineers and architects increasingly perform some of the tasks drafters traditionally preformed the job growth will be kept lower than it could have been otherwise.
Where do AutoCAD drafters work?
Drafters will spend a majority of their time in an office working in front of a computer, though some may be required to visit jobsites in order to collaborate with other industry professionals such as engineers and architects as well as clients.
What hours do AutoCAD drafters work?
Drafters will typically work full time at around 40 hours per week, however you may be asked to work overtime including later nights and weekends when important project deadlines are approaching.
What qualities should a good CAD drafter have?
In order to be a good CAD drafter, you will need to understand how to use the AutoCAD software well including commands. You will need to have good time management skills, the ability to work well under pressure, and the ability to prioritize tasks to complete multiple jobs before their specified deadlines. You will also need good organization skills and a high attention to detail. Finally, you'll need to have good communication skills as you'll be responsible for communicating with peers, supervisors, and perhaps even customers.
What type of businesses use AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D?
There are a variety of businesses that use AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D including those in architecture, construction, engineering, manufacturing, computer science, higher education, information technology, and interior design. AutoCAD is designed for people and organizations who make things, and it's trusted by millions of customers worldwide. According to iDataLabs, there are over 115,000 companies that currently use AutoCAD and most are located in the United States and in the Construction industry.

Hope College will host a performance by "Act on Racism" and follow-up discussion on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. in the Fried-Hemenway Auditorium of the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The event was originally to have been presented on Thursday, Nov. 13, but was rescheduled in the wake of the norovirus outbreak that prompted the college to be shut down from the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 7, through the early morning of Wednesday, Nov. 12.
"Act on Racism" is a student-oriented group at Grand Valley State University. Brought together in August 2005 by Professor Jennifer Stewart, the group members strive to increase contemporary awareness of racism by reenacting racist incidents that have occurred in West Michigan and presenting an opportunity for audiences to engage in an open discussion about controversial issues regarding race and ethnicity. "Act on Racism" has performed in numerous classrooms as well as at the Michigan Sociological Convention, at the Wealthy Street Theater, the University of Chicago and various other events.
The Nov. 20 event is sponsored by the Hope's Asian Perspective Association (HAPA) student group. HAPA's mission is to aid in the establishment of diversity and to promote awareness on Hope College's campus of Asian and Asian-American history, experiences, issues and perspectives.
The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication is located at 257 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 10th Street.

So much for my idea of having one signature scent for the summer. I should have known that it wasn't going to work out.
A quick trip up to Tyson's Galleria put me right in front of Saks. So, naturally, I headed over to the Bond counter to smell the new Union Square (very floral, not for me). However, the lovely SA suggested that I try Fire Island after I explained what I was looking out for this season.
Oh my. It was love at first smell. Bond says that it is the captured scent of bronzing bodies. I don't know about all of that, but the listed notes are cardamom, neroli, white musk, tuberose, and patchouli. Other sites list ozone as well, although I'm not sure I smell it. It could just be too faint for me.
I've also seen it mentioned as both a men's fragrance and a unisex fragrance, so I might get the husband to try it out as well, although I don't think he will like it at all. I personally love it, and now I'm going to spend the summer torn between my Monyette Paris and Fire Island.
Summer Fragrance Redux
So much for my idea of having one signature scent for the summer. I should have known that it wasn't going to work out.
Nic's Sticks by OPI
I was a little surprised to run into the new Nic's Sticks by OPI at Target the other day. Who knows how they got their hands on them, but I was excited to try them out, so I picked up two of them: Catch Ya Later and Carpool Mama. Catch Ya Later is a super light peachy pink, almost transparent. Carpool Mama looks to be pretty close to true red, although I haven't tried it yet.
Using Nic's Sticks is super easy. Give it a good shake, take off the cap, then prime the pen by clicking the stick two or three times. After that, you're good to go. Polish comes out nice and even, with no globbing at my cuticles. I'm not sure globbing is a word, but it works here.
I really want to love the idea behind this product - nail polish that I can stick in my purse and use whenever I need to. I have a serious problem with chipping nails, and busting out the bottle and brush isn't always an option. However, I found the brush on this pen to be rather big, and it didn't give the smooth results that I'm used to with OPI. I wasn't overly thrilled with the color of Catch Ya Later, but that's my fault. I should know by now that I'm not a peachy pink transparent kind of girl. That's just not going to be something that I'm ever going to like on my nails. I need color!
So, tonight, I'm taking off Catch Ya Later and trying Carpool Mama. And perhaps I'll grow to love the brush the more I use it.
Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes
At some point or another, we've all had these problems. Staying up too late, too many martinis, pulling an all-nighter can all give us those unsightly under-eye problems. However, many of us have some form of these all the time. I've noticed that this is something that many people ask about, especially in regard to the miracle product that they can try that will get rid of them.
Unfortunately, the bad news is that chronic dark circles and puffiness are usually due to factors that are far more complex than just getting some extra sleep. Let's look at a few of the common culprits:
- Lifestyle issues: chronic lack of sleep, overeating, overconsumption of salty foods, too much caffeine, stress. All of these contribute to an increased level of the stress hormone cortisol which does quite a number on your body, including those dark circles under your eyes.
- Allergies: one of the most common contributors. Most people don't even realize they are dealing with an environmental allergen such as dust, dust mites, pet dander, indoor molds, and (yuck) cockroach droppings.
- Sun exposure: yes, it can even cause under eye problems, along with everything else. Not only can it cause sun spots, it can damage the skin under your eyes, which isn't helping anything.
- Aging: Not much you can do about this one - we all get older. But the fat pad beneath our eyes thins out, causing that area to appear dark and sunken.
- Lifestyle issues: try and get at least 8 hours of sleep. I know it's hard, but it's called "beauty sleep" for a reason. Not only does it prevent those dark circles, but the body heals during sleep as well. Loosen up on the coffee (can you believe I'm saying this? but it's true), because caffeine can increase water retention, causing puffiness. Same goes for salt. Take a good multivitamin and take care of yourself!
- Allergies: treat the allergens. It's entirely possible you don't even realize you have allergies until you get rid of them. Wrap your pillow in a hypoallergenic barrier, try an over the counter antihistimine (or talk to your doctor about your options), and most importantly: use allergy eye drops. Two drops in each eye before bed and in the morning will reduce symptoms.
- Sun exposure: always, always, always use a good sunscreen on your entire face (and any other body part exposed to the sun). Many moisturizers and foundations have SPF in them, check them out!
- Aging: age gracefully, as there isn't anything else to be done about this one!
- Orbital Eye Rejuvenator by Borba. Contains skin brighteners to diminish dark circles, as well as ingredients to diminish signs of aging.
- Kinerase Under Eye Rescue. Advanced peptide formula helps with dark circles and puffiness.
- eyecon by Benefit. Orange fruit extract helps stimulate microcirculation to alleviate dark circles.
- Depuffing Action Eye Gel by Benefit. Contains hydrolyzed soy flour to firm and lift plus red raspberry and chamomile to soothe and nourish.
- All About Eyes by Clinique. Diminishes the appearance of eye puff, darkness, and fine lines.
- Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers by Cosmedicine. Reduces puffiness and dark circles; camouflages with light diffusing crystals.
- Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment by Murad. Clinical studies have shown that this product lightens undereye circles by 59% and puffiness by 50% (according to Sephora's site).
Ink by China Glaze
I love the beautiful colors found in tattoos. Of course, I'm partial to them, having two tattoos myself. When I heard about the Ink collection from China Glaze, I was excited to see them in action. Then today, All Lacqured Up posted a beautiful first look that you simply must see. I knew I'd have to post about them.
I'm thinking that the colors I'm most excited to try are Blue Sparrow, Flying Dragon, Sacred Heart and maybe Shocking Pink.
Now I just need to find a place near me that sells them. That's going to be pretty difficult, I'm sure.

Ron Perlman (Hellboy) may be a great actor, but he's an even better human being. When Perlman got word that Zachary, a six-year-old leukemia patient, told the Make-a-Wish Foundation that he wanted to "meet and become Hellboy," the screen veteran was all in. Re-teaming with Spectral Motion, the effects company behind Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy and its sequel, Perlman underwent the four-hour transformation process to become the comicbook demon and meet Zachary. Imagine Zachary's surprise when he not only met Hellboy in the flesh, but got to become a pint-sized version of his hero, courtesy of the make-up and effects team. Hit the jump for more pictures from the event and more charitable work from Spectral Motion.
Here's what Spectral Motion had to say about Zachary's meeting with Hellboy (via Facebook):
In the past three weeks, Spectral Motion has been honored to host two wonderful Make-A-Wish children, Caleb and Zachary. Zachary loved his visit for two very special reasons. It was Zachary's wish to meet Hellboy and also to become Hellboy. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation contacted Spectral Motion with this request, Mike thought it would be fantastic to have Ron Perlman reprise his role for the day. Ron loved the idea and donned the makeup once more (with the assistance of Lufeng Qu and Eden Elizalde) and also ordered a Hellboy sized meal of burgers, shakes, and fries for Zachary and his family and the entire Spectral crew to enjoy. Later in the day, Zachary was transformed into Hellboy with the assistance of makeup artists Lufeng Qu and Neil Winn. Both of the Make-A-Wish days were a complete thrill for the families of the children, as well as for the crew at Spectral Motion!

OMFG Tom Hiddleston looks so damn good on the March 2014 digital cover of Elle UK. Christ.
Lily Allen is the real cover star, but we need to talk about Hiddles and the stuff he tells Elle UK's Annabel Brog, who got to have drinks with him for three hours.
He talks to us about women. Wanna know about his first kiss? So did we: "First kiss 10! Yes, 10 years old, tongues and everything. [Laughs] She was a huge crush, we were in the same class, a lot of note swapping, and eventually it all went down in a cricket pavilion on an autumn night. It was very thrilling."
His tastes have subsequently been refined: "I believe in the strength and intelligence and sensitivity of women. My mother, my sisters [they] are strong. My mum is a strong woman and I love her for it." Just give us a second, while we pick ourselves up off the floor.
Oh, and there's this video of him running and panting and getting sweaty, which is oddly compelling. I thought he said see you in hell. And I was like, I will do whatever it takes to get there, babe. But he said "See you in Elle." Right. Sure. Thanks. Love you.

The BBC's 'War on Britain's Roads', purportedly showing the friction between two and four-wheeled road users, stirred up emotion and anger before it had even been aired on Wednesday night.
It didn't help that the title looked very much like the issue was going to be over-sensationalised. "From everyday incidents that get out of hand between cyclists and motorists, to stories of near-death experiences and fatal collisions, this timely documentary shows the battle between two wheels and four has never been so intense," said the accompanying blurb on the BBC website.

Did it turn out to be, as Ian Austin MP, co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Cycling Group, described it: "stupid, sensationalist, simplistic, irresponsible nonsense"?
The programme opened with a shot of Bradley Wiggins, on his way to winning the Olympic time trial in the summer, with the voiceover reminding us that even the flag-bearer of the surge in popularity of cycling in Britain wasn't beyond being knocked off his bike. Wiggins was hit by a van whilst out on a training ride in November, and spent a night in hospital.
We were then shown footage filmed by Gareth, 24 (web developer) on his helmet-mounted camera. If his edited footage was anything to go by, he is cut up and sworn at with alarming regularity. It has to be said that Gareth wasn't adverse to a bit of confrontation himself in his quest to maintain his space on the road. In one segment he banged on the side of a cab that he deemed to be passing into his lane. The driver stopped, and berated Gareth using words that assured him of some airtime on BBC after the 9pm watershed.
To give a balanced view, there were also segments with taxi drivers and lorry drivers giving their take on cyclists' behaviour. In particular, they quite rightly despised those riders who jump red lights and weave dangerously through traffic.
In between the shaky clips of verbal and physical fisticuffs, there was footage of police officers trying to sort out both sides, all the while being on the roads as cyclists themselves. Much of their duty seemed to involve getting people to simply calm down and be nice to each other.
Sure enough, when everyone had calmed down a bit, got off that ribbon of tarmac and sat in the studio, most turned out to be perfectly reasonable human beings. (Although the programme makers obviously asked the cyclists to wear a cycling top and the car drivers to wear 'normal' clothes in a clumsy move to reinforce which side of the 'war' the speaker belonged to.)
The film made much of its use of head-cam footage shot by 'real' cyclists. However, it has come to light that the footage of cycle messengers flouting the rules of the road through London used at the end of the broadcast was actually shot in 2006 by an American film-maker, Lucas Brunelle.
On the Moving Target messenger zine forum, Brunelle was contacted earlier this year by the programme's maker, Leopard Films, but says that he did not give full consent for the footage to be used. Either way, it was hardly the behaviour of your everyday cyclist in the same way that showing footage of a joyrider cruising at 90mph down the High Street would be representative of the average behaviour of a driver.
The most thought-provoking contribution in the whole film was in stark contrast to the van-side-banging, expletive-fuelled rants of a large portion of the footage. Cynthia Barlow's daughter was killed whilst cycling after she was hit by a cement lorry in London. "What happened to my daughter was not an accident, it was a preventable tragedy," she said.
Barlow is now the chair of RoadPeace, the national charity for road crash victims, and has campaigned tirelessly and effectively to improve safety for cyclists, and other road users. This is someone who has coped with a great and unnecessary loss, and come out of it determined to make the roads a safer place for everyone. She bought shares in the cement company that owned the lorry that killed her daughter, and attended its AGM, where she spoke about the dangers posed by its vehicles leading directly to awareness training for drivers and safety measures being installed on their fleet.
What did the programme really tell us? That it doesn't matter whether you're a cyclist, taxi driver, lorry driver, bus driver or pedestrian – there are people on the roads who don't pay attention to other road users regardless of their mode of transport, and that there are some angry people out there. The overwhelming majority of us, though, just want to get where we're going posing the absolute minimum of danger to ourselves and others. It turned out to be less of a war, and more of a misunderstanding.
"We're just people, sometimes people on bikes, other times people in cars, often both in the same day," said Martin Gibbs, British Cycling's Policy and Legal Affairs Director, in a statement issued before the programme was broadcast.
"We all bear a responsibility for the culture on the roads."
